EIT InnoEnergy was selected in recognition of its role in supporting over 500 climatetech start-ups since 2010. Its current equity portfolio of more than 180 companies, is estimated to potentially generate €72.8 billion in revenue and reduce the world’s annual carbon footprint by 1.1G tons by 2030. These include major disruptive innovations from ocean wave technologies to those that deliver AI-driven energy saving, and balancing off the grid.
PitchBook is a financial data and software company that provides thousands of global business professionals with comprehensive data on the private and public markets, and its report: 2022 Annual Interactive Global League Tables, ranked the most active investors by geography, US regions, Europe regions, AUM, Deal type, Sector, and Exits.
